HFBR-25X6

The 125 MBd Versatile Link (HFBR-0507 Series) is the most cost-effective fiber-optic solution for transmission of 125 MBd data over 100 meters. The data link consists of a 650 nm LED transmitter, HFBR-15X7, and a PIN/preamp receiver, HFBR- 25X6. These can be used with low-cost plastic or silica fiber.

One mm diameter plastic fiber of HFBR-0507 Series provides the lowest cost solution for distances under 25 meters. The lower attenuation of silica fiber allows data transmission over longer distance, for a small difference in cost. These HFBR-0507 Series components can be used for high speed data links without the problems common with copper wire solutions, at a competitive cost.

The HFBR-15X7 transmitter is a high power 650 nm LED in a low cost plastic housing designed to efficiently couple power into 1 mm diameter plastic optical fiber and 200 mm Hard Clad Silica (HCS®) fiber. With the recommended drive circuit, the LED operates at speeds from 1-125 MBd. The HFBR-25X6 is a high bandwidth analog receiver containing a PIN photodiode and internal transimpedance amplifier. With the recommended application circuit for 125 MBd operation, the performance of the complete data link is specified for of 0-25 meters with plastic fiber and 0-100 meters with 200 mm HCS® fiber. A wide variety of other digitizing circuits can be combined with the HFBR-0507 Series to optimize performance and cost at higher and lower data rates.
